Re: [ALL][DRAFT] Apache Commons Board Report for June 2019

SCXML seems to have stalled quite a bit. I’m not trying to throw shade or
anything. People get busy and just don’t have time for open source work.
There have been quite a few folks inquiring about it as of lately, but not
a ton of traction. My colleagues at work are interested in using it, so
I’ve encouraged them to contribute upstream and help out. If a regular
project was in this sort of trouble, the PMC would want to report it. Do
we need to do the same for our sub modules?

Well, the state of SCXML is not unlike some of our other 42 components. I
do not think we want a health report on each.
